I’ve got no excuse, other than Simon picked up on the latest produce a list which tells us something about you theme running through the blogosphere.
The rules are quite simple;
- Open up the music player on your computer (or personal music player)
- Set it to play your entire collection – on random shuffle
- Tell us the title of the next ten songs that show up (with their musicians), no matter how embarrassing. That’s right, no skipping that Carpenters tune that will totally destroy your hip credibility. It’s time for total musical honesty. Write it up in your blog or journal and link back to at least a couple of the other sites where you saw this.
- If you get the same artist twice, you may skip the second (or third, or etc.) occurances. You don’t have to, but since randomness could mean you end up with a list of ten song with five artists, you can if you’d like.
Simple. Here’s mine;
| Song | Artist | Album |
|---|---|---|
| Lost Weekend | Lloyd Cole and the Commotions | Easy Pieces |
| Boxing | Ben Folds Five | Ben Folds Five |
| English Beefcake | James | Pleased to Meet You |
| Hometown | Francis Dunnery | Hometown – Live |
| Grassman | Dodgy | Homegrown |
| We Let The Stars Go | Prefab Sprout | A Life of Surprises |
| On Ice | Lloyd Cole | The Negatives |
| Faron Young | Prefab Sprout | Steve McQueen |
| Wanna Shout | It Bites | Big Lad in the Windmill |
| So Much More | Beth Orton | Central Reservation |
The only surprise is that there are no Marillion tracks in this selection. The 70’s throwback will be outraged.
How do I open a “playlist” on a turntable? Oops, does that mean I don’t have a “personal music player”, oh dear.
Probably not as outraged as you are going to be when I tell you that Glenn Tilbrook AND the Stuffies are playing in Stourbridge within the next 2 weeks………………..
